Yes, I have that adapter. I hooked it up to the TV as shown in the manual but when I ran the Connection Test the message I got was "Check Connection to local network (router). That is why I am wondering if the AirPort WiFi router supports TVs or just my computer, and other Apple products.

If that is the case do you know what other equipment I should get to set up my TV for WiFi?

1. Open AirPort Admin Utility, located in Applications/Utilities.2. Select your base station from the list and click Configure.3. Click Show All Settings.4. Click Base Station Options, then select the "Enable Default Host at" checkbox.

Change the address from 10.0.1.253 to the one that matches your tv - 10.0.1.20. Save the settings, then unplug the Airport for 1 minute, then power it back on.

When I go into AirPort Utility I find the AirPort Extreme 802.1n (4th Generation); IP address: 10.0.1.1. If I click on Manual Setup I get the Base Station location, in which it states the address is: 50.133.154.74. I don't find an "Enable Default Host at" checkbox, nor do I see an address: 10.0.1.523.

So I guess I'm asking where I can find these things, and if I do find them should I change the 10.0.1.3 address I found in the System Preferences for the AirPort from 10.0.1.3 to 10.0.1.2 as you suggested? If I do change it I presume I should change the Gateway address also?

The Network screen on my iMac does not look exactly like the one you provided. The information it provides under the heading "TCP/IP" is: Configure IPv4 is DHCP; IPv$4 address is 10.0.1.3 Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 Router is 10.0.1.1 DNS Server is 10.0.1.1

If I run the test using an IP of 10.1.1.10, as you suggested, it comes back invalid IP.

If I run the test using an IP of: 10.0.1.10 it comes back as valid IP, but couldn't connect to the internet.

If I run it using an IP of 10.0.1.1 it comes back as everything is okay except it tells me to check the Viera Connect Server (on my Panasonic TV). Can you tell me how to do that?

I was just able to go back through the series of connection steps, find my wireless network, enter my password XXXXX then run the Connection test. This time the setup passed the test. So based on that I am very happy with the support your experts provided and I accept your answer.
